OVERALLS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,313, dated. May 29, 1883.

Application filed February 5, 1883. (K0 model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES O. COLE, of"

Las Vegas, Territory of New Mexico, have made a new and useful Improvement in Overalls, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 is a view in perspective, showing a pair of overalls having the improvement, the overalls being drawn over the pantaloons and attached thereto; Fig. 2, a side elevation of the part used in attaching the overalls to the pantaloons, and Fig. 3a view showing that portion ot the'construction immediately connectedwiththeimprovement. Thelastnamed views are upon an enlarged .scale.

The same letters of refer'encedenote the same parts' The present invention is an improved means for attaching and supporting the overalls.

A represents a pair of overalls drawn over a pair of pantaloons, B. Aside from the improvement the overalls and pantaloons are of the customary form. The overalls are suspended from the pantaloons by means of straps the overalls can be separately worn in the ordinary way, and when the overalls are worn over the pantaloons the straps G not only do not interfere with the operation of the ordinary suspenders, bnt can. by attaching them to the suspender-buttons b b, be made to serve practically as extensions of the suspenders D, and the strains caused by the overalls are borne directly by the suspenders D. The straps O are also always ready for use.

The straps O are attached to the overalls by iueans'of the buttons a, to which buttons the suspenders D may be attached when the overalls only are being worn. By arranging the straps G, as shown, so as to come opposite the hips, the overalls are worn with much less discomfort than when tightened-around the waist, as has been customary.

I claim- The combination of the overalls A and the OH AS. 0. COLE.
